PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate is derived from coconut oil and glycerin and is a multifunctional, water-soluble ingredient as it is a synthetic polymer that functions as an emollient, surfactant, and emulsifier in cosmetics and skincare products. Glyceryl Cocoate is a monoester of glycerin and coconut fatty acids, which are both very beneficial to the skin. It restores the skin’s lipid barrier and helps retain moisture.
